Life with an alcoholic, addict, bi-polar / psychotic (ex) spouse. Dealing with the manic, erratic, terrifying behavior, the sadness and decisions to be made to keep sane. My decision was to leave before he completely lost his mind.

156. My Criminal Deposition or How To Fall Apart in One Hour
I couldn't sleep last night. I tossed and turned then finally took Zquil to try to get some sleep. I knew today was my deposition with the public defender - "his attorney." I wish I could say I was very well prepared for this. I have had a year of counseling to think about this and the trial. I hoped I was prepared. I'm sad to say that emotionally I wasn't.
All day long at work all I could think about was that at 3:30 PM I had to be at the courthouse and "his attorney" would be questioning me about all that has happened. I talked to Dixie on Facebook earlier today. She said, "..just answer the question... don't elaborate don't add anything... just answer the specific question asked." When I got to the courthouse my victims advocate, Susan, told me the same thing Dixie said. She said keep your answers short and simple. That seemed like a simple thing to do. It just was easier said then done.
